the snowy day (and ezzie lately)

we woke friday to a little bit of snow.  enough that the kids were sure school would be cancelled!  sadly, school was not cancelled, and the snow was pretty much gone by lunchtime.  but it was fun while it lasted.

ezra at 22 months old:

loves the book blue hat, red hat.  says "eeps!" for "oops" at the end of each page, and laughs, laughs.

loves goodnight moon, especially the "cow jumping over the moon."  must find the mouse on every page.  i say, "little old lady whispering..." and he says, in a whisper, "hush."

loves the mitten.  when the mouse makes the bear sneeze, he says, "ah, ah, ah-choo!" then cracks up.

loves little blue truck.  at the end says, "beep, beep, beep!"

loves to empty the dishwasher.

loves pockets of all sorts.  is so cute with his little hands inside his overalls!

does peek-a-boo: "cup-pup-boo!"

knows everything pink is isla's.  hands pink things to her (i.e. dishes, water bottle, books, etc.).  says, "isla's!"

really, really, really wants to sleep in the big kids' beds with them.

loves to draw with markers.  says, "ca-yer!"  ("color.")  is actually pretty good about putting caps back on and not coloring on himself.  but if he does, he is happy to wash his hands.  indefinitely.

knows how to swipe and tap on daddy's iphone.  sadly.

LOVES condiments (ketchup, salad dressing, sauces, etc.).  calls them all ketchup.  sounds like: chep-up.  chep-up!!!

continues his obsession with shoes.  lately likes to wear shoes from the dress-up box with isla.  yesterday it was one tappy shoe, one ballet shoe.  insists on "tying" the laces himself.

reads to himself all the time.  right now he is in his room with a pile of books, flipping through, saying, "bookies.  3-3-3!"
